System and method for the efficient use of space at corners of ninety degree intersection of storage modalities in ninety degrees or otherwise

Abstract

A drawer system in which two integrated drawer systems are deployed, such that each said drawer system is equipped with two separate heavy duty runner systems, at opposed ninety degree, or other angle. Each drawer system with an intervening platform upon which the second set of runners is mounted, such that, as a result, each involved drawer is capable of both lateral and forward and backward movement, with the result that the forward movement, in example, of one drawer, can open a space for the lateral movement of the second drawer. The first drawer, having been moved forward, can now be moved laterally, while the second drawer can then be moved forward. The end result being that they both become simultaneously accessible to the operator, all with the result that previously unavailable or unreachable space is rendered readily accessible, as to the contents contained in the second drawer.

What I claim is: 
     
       1. A drawer system for use in a corner, in which at least one of two cabinet faces that intersect to form the corner contains a first front facing drawer that is retractable into the cabinet in a direction perpendicular to the at least one cabinet face, the drawer system comprising:
 a first drawer sub system comprising:
 a first set of runners oriented perpendicular to the at least one cabinet face, attached on an upper surface to a first intermediate platform and on a lower surface to the cabinet; 
 a second set of runners oriented parallel to the at least one cabinet face, attached on an upper surface to the front facing drawer and on a lower surface to the first intermediate platform; 
 
 a second drawer sub system comprising:
 a first set of second drawer runners oriented parallel to the at least one cabinet face, attached on an upper surface to a second intermediate platform and on a lower surface to the cabinet; 
 a second set of second drawer runners oriented perpendicular to the at least one cabinet face, attached on an upper surface to a second drawer and on a lower surface to the second intermediate platform; 
 
 wherein the respective runners allow relative movement of the upper and lower surfaces along the respective orientation; and wherein the first and second drawers are contained within the cabinet when retracted and side by side when in the extended position. 
 
     
     
       2. The drawer system of  claim 1 , wherein the corner is 90 degrees. 
     
     
       3. The drawers system of  claim 1 , wherein the corner is greater than 90 degrees. 
     
     
       4. A drawer system for use in a corner, in which at least one of two cabinet faces that intersect to form the corner contains a first front facing drawer that is retractable into the cabinet in a direction perpendicular to the at least one cabinet face, the drawer system comprising:
 a first drawer sub system comprising:
 a first set of runners oriented perpendicular to the at least one cabinet face, attached on an upper surface to a first intermediate platform and on a lower surface to the cabinet; 
 a second set of runners oriented parallel to the at least one cabinet face, attached on an upper surface to the front facing drawer and on a lower surface to the first intermediate platform; 
 
 a second drawer sub system comprising:
 a first set of second drawer runners oriented parallel to the at least one cabinet face, attached on an upper surface to a second intermediate platform and on a lower surface to the cabinet; 
 a second set of second drawer runners oriented perpendicular to the at least one cabinet face, attached on an upper surface to a second drawer and on a lower surface to the first intermediate platform; 
 
 wherein the respective runners allow relative movement of the upper and lower surfaces along the respective orientation; and wherein the first and second drawers are contained within the cabinet when retracted and side by side when in the extended position. 
 
     
     
       5. The drawer system of  claim 4 , wherein the second set of second drawer runners comprise a groove. 
     
     
       6. The drawer system of  claim 5 , wherein the second set of second drawer runners comprise a projection adapted to be received by the groove. 
     
     
       7. The drawer system of  claim 6 , wherein the second set of second drawer runners further comprises a plurality of sliding surfaces. 
     
     
       8. The drawer system of  claim 5 , wherein the bottom of the first and second drawers are at the same high.
